New Testament

Job 41:1-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hookor snare his tongue with a line which you let down?

2. Can you put a cord into his nose,or pierce his jaw with a hook?

3. Will he make many supplications to you?Will he speak soft words to you?

4. Will he make a covenant with you?Will you take him for a servant forever?

5. Will you play with him as with a bird?Or will you put him on a leash for your maidens?

6. Will your companions make a banquet of him?Will they divide him among the merchants?

7. Can you fill his skin with harpoonsor his head with fishing spears?

8. Lay your hand on him;remember the battle—you will do it no more.

9. Notice, any hope of overcoming him is in vain;shall not one be overwhelmed at the sight of him?
